In this course, you’ll learn the essential techniques for working on the potter’s wheel. We’ll start with centering the clay, followed by exercises to help you get comfortable with the material. You’ll learn how to pull up the walls of the piece, and from there, decide whether you want to create a bowl, cup, or vase.

I’ll guide you through the techniques, but you’ll have a lot of creative freedom to choose what you’d like to make.

In the next class, once the clay has firmed up a bit, we’ll refine your pieces using trimming tools to give them a clean, finished look.

The final step is glazing. I’ll also introduce you to different glazing methods so you can choose the one that best fits your design
